Expenses--alr. Niorrison's Future.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July ia ques-
ton was recently presented to the Treas.
ury Department as to the right Of foreign
steamers to take excuralon parties from
Buffalo to pleasure resorts on the Cana.
dian shore OF the Niagara river. The
Collector Of Customs at Buffalo has held
that such practice is prohibited by the
eighth section Of the act Of Congress ap.
proved June 10, 1886, which prescribes a
penalty OF s. 4, head against the owner
Of any foreign steamer which carries
passengers between two or more Ameri-
can ports. The question was referred to
the Solicitor OF the Treasury, and no has
given nm opinion that there is nothing in
the law to prohibit foreign steamers from
taking passengers from an American port
into foreign territory, and returning with
them to the same American port, provi-
ded no trading Ia done at other American
ports on the route. He holds, however,
that steamer engaged In such traffic
would be subject to the foreign inspsc.

Morrison Anxious to Re.enter Politics. 4
WASHINGTON, D. G., July 12.-Colonel
William R. Morrison has just returned
from visit to his home in Illinois, where
he went for rest and for the purpose Of
talking with his old political friends. Mr..
Morrison lis growing more than ever dis
satisfied with his place on the Interstate
Commerce commission. His friends here
expect that be will soon resign and thet
no will again enter politicsl life. He him
self attributes his defeat in the last CON
gresaional campaign to the apathy OF his
political friends who took his election
Tor granted, and allowed it to 20
by default. He,is satisfied since his trip
to Illinois that the Democrats in his dis.
trict will not again slow him to be de-
feated by lack OF vigilance, snd he be-
ieves that he can defeat Jehu Baker neSt
year as easily as he ever defeated to-
publican opponent in the past. Beside
this, the Colonel has number Of political
debts to pay. He thinks that General
Black ia looming up too vigorously for
him, and he fears, too, that when 1t be-
comes known that he is anxious to re-
enter politics actively there will be con-
siderable opposition developed to his con-
frmation in the Senate next winter. 57
